I used an electric fan on my carrier until I could get hold of the correct setup, it wasn't pretty but it got the job done

I am at a similar crossroads... I have all the correct bits at present but want to run high volume water pumps...... All of which are single pulley, I can't fit my twin pulleys to the new pumps so was going to run one V belt rather than two.... Not sure I will now.

Pumps that are on are absolute dog muck.

If I am going to spend the wedge I would rather pay for something that works well.

After Christmas cross-fit. Dismantling of the heavily converted carrier chassis I got. Poor guy tried to build a tracked wineyard cultivator on the carrier basis. He did destroy british made, late production vehicle, very rare. Still some nice useabl parts though.
